Homebrew [Tutorial] A Little Guide on the New waithax/slowhax

[slaphappygamer]

Isn't browserhax only for 11.0 and below?

Semi-relevant question. The Guide says that:

All variations of sysUpdater, not just sysDowngrader, have a very small chance of causing a “soft brick” once the downgrade is complete and the device reboots. This will cause the system to boot directly to the Nintendo error screen instructing users to power off the device.

The reason for this is unknown, but can be prevented by performing a system format before downgrading. It seems to happen very often on systems with ambassador status or who have DSiWare installed.

Once this error happens, it can only be fixed by using recovery mode (boot holding A + R + L + Up on the D-Pad) to update to the latest system version.

So while the Slowaithax has executed fine on my 2DS, I am kinda afraid of downgrading to 9.2.0 and continuing the A9LH guide. I would perform a system format, but since it asks me to connect to the Internet, I'm afraid it might try updating to 11.2 and perhaps screw things up. Would it? Or would using tinyFormat be enough to prevent that brick possibility?

I assume I don't have to worry about my data, since whatever I lose I might be able to redownload from eShop after it's all over.

The internet connection is only required for Nintendo to unlink your NNID from your system.
It will not be updated to 11.2 at all.

I will be able to relink my NNID after I'm done with installing A9LH though, right?
Also, I'm still curious whether or not TinyFormat would be enough to serve the same purpose.

Tinyformat does the same as system format, but without unlinking your NNID, so you don't need to relink after the process

Does it have to show something when waithax is running in dsiware_installer?
On my 2DS the screen is just black tried it 11 times

 

[fally07scape]

In the dsi online shop there is an app "called nintendo 3ds tranfer" from there you can tranfer your games, but i think you need your 3ds to be in the latest version thought.

Not true. I was able to system transfer 4 Swords to my 11.0.0-33 3DS the target does not need to be updated to transfer

It should show white text on the screen

Very well written. Will be trying this out when I get home today

Or if you have a friend with sticker star or oot3ds and they also have a cfw 3ds they can install the exploit on the game card for you and then you can access it....

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


Or if you have oot3d you could buy a power saves device and install the exploit through that method

shouldn't browserhax work if the dsiwarehax downgrade of the nfirm works, that shouod work and an access point, i could then reinstall steelhax, any idea why the downgrade wont work though if thats the case?

Welp, just read the stealhax site, just had to hold 1 f***ing button(b) and now it works, im just hanging on not being able to get am:u handle, keep trying, same thing over and over, at least im a step closer and have homebrew again

Thx for the tutorial !

I have ocarina of time 3D catridge so can I use oothax on my 11.0 N3DS?

 

[SagaP]

I'm still waiting on Walmart to ship my Black Friday N3DS, but I do have LoZ: Four Swords Anniversary downloaded on my old DSi. Would I be able to do some magical transfer shit to use DSiWareHax on my N3DS when it comes?

Oh ok, i was thinking it was the same as when tranfer from 3ds to 3ds, my bad, Well there you have it

exidiahax was successful but I'm still on 11.0.0-33U, according to my system settings.

Is that normal?

Now downgrade the NFIRM and proceed to use the other guide....

Does it matter that I attempted to downgrade to 10.4 using exidiahax, but my system STILL says "11.0?"

No idea, I didn't poke around in system settings, I followed the guide verbatim and it didn't tell me once to check system version =)

It will still show you're on 11.0 in setting because that's your system version, your native firmware is completely different, you're good to go for downgrading to 9.2
